The family would like to send a special thank you to the Shenandoah Hospice house medical staff for making Mary Ann comfortable during her last hours, and all the care takers over the last several months too numerous to name, that were involved with her treatment.

With Mary Ann's belief in Jesus, her death is not an end but the beginning of a new life, with no more tears, sorrow, or pain that she had to endure the last few months on this earth.
